Replication Agent instance fails to start after upgrading a version 15.0 on a UNIX platform to a Windows platform

[CR# 490356] After upgrading a Replication Agent instance from a version 15.0 on a UNIX platform to a Windows platform, the Replication Agent 15.2 instance fails to start, and displays this error:

Error setting logging directory for instance XXX because: <Log directory <YYY> does not exist>.

Workaround: After upgrading the Replication Agent instance, edit the Replication Agent 15.2 instance configuration file, and modify the value of the log_directory parameter to point to the correct path of the Replication Agent instance log directory. By default, the log directory resides under the Replication Agent 15.2 instance directory. For example:Before:

log_directory=/opt/Sybase/RAX-15_0/myra/log

After:

log_directory=c\:\\sybase\\RAX-15_2\\myra\\log

NoteOn Microsoft Windows, be sure to include double backslashes as shown in the example.
